Star Wars: Han Solo Spin-Off - 8 Things That Will Definitely Happen

3. Dealing With The Hutt

From early on in the saga we know that Han owes Jabba the Hutt a lot of money. So much money, in fact, that it causes Jabba to place a bounty on his head that€™s attractive to the biggest and best hunters in the galaxy.

Given Han was a smuggler and Jabba a crime boss, it€™s most likely that Han would do the odd-job for the mobster slug, and one of these going wrong is what leads to him being in a huge debt.

It€™d be interesting to see just how Han fails on one of his smuggling runs, the events that cause it to happen (we know he dropped a shipment when getting boarded by Imperial officers, but no specifics), and the fallout from it as he uses all of his wits to escape the wrath of Jabba with false promises of getting his money. There€™s also the chance he€™d run into Greedo - as that meeting in A New Hope wasn€™t their first - although hopefully one that doesn€™t lead to another €˜who shot first€™ debate.

Similarly, it€™d be good to see what the relationship was like between Jabba and Han before he got into his debt. Was it simply a business-like deal, or could they have perhaps been quite close before things went sour?
